“Teacher, how did you…”

Maine Coon was startled by Shen Yuan suddenly appearing in the courtyard without warning, because changes that occurred on a spatial level were quite remote for him, a Qi Transformation Stage cat demon, and it was impossible for it to perceive such things.

“Merely a slight advancement.”

Shen Yuan casually responded, but the smile on his face couldn’t be hidden.

Pot’s Heaven Divine Power had advanced to the Reaching Inner Hall Induction Level, completely shedding the initial stage’s awkward situation of possessing only one method, becoming much more flexible and diverse in terms of space manipulation.

In his current state, even without relying on spirit objects, Shen Yuan could open up a small storage space within his sleeve or pocket that he could maintain for a brief period of time.

Moreover, Shen Yuan, who had reached the Reaching Inner Hall Induction Level with Pot’s Heaven Divine Power, could voluntarily create small space rifts even when he was in the outside world.

While its destructive power isn’t outstanding, it excels in convenience.

Shen Yuan also had a deep realization about creating space hand grenades, the explosive range of the space hand grenades he made with the same material would be greater.

Of course, at their core, these are just minor details. What truly excited Shen Yuan was the ability he had just used.

Teleportation!

Theoretically, this is an ability that only the Void Refining True Monarch, who can shatter the void, can use, forcibly breaking through the spatial boundary and achieving long-distance traversal.

As the Pot’s Heaven Divine Power at the Reaching Inner Hall Induction level naturally cannot achieve real teleportation, Shen Yuan can use some ingenious ways to achieve it.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuan looked around the Secret Realm he was in.

Since this Secret Realm was spawned from Pot’s Heaven Divine Power, combined with the effects of Grotto Residence Token and its subsequent expansion, Shen Yuan, the master of Pot’s Heaven Divine Power, can completely control this Secret Realm.

Inside the Secret Realm, Shen Yuan’s affinity for space here has greatly increased, making it easy to accomplish teleportation on a spatial level.

Just one thought is all it takes to bypass space, this ability far surpasses the level that can be achieved at the current Spirit Energy Tidal Surge stage.

The uses of teleportation extend beyond just this….

With a thought, Shen Yuan reached out his right hand, and his palm disappeared into the space. When Shen Yuan withdrew his right hand, he had brought back a pocket of fish snacks that Bai Xue had stashed away in her drawer.

Shen Yuan’s eyes can see all the spaces in the Secret Realm, and he can grab any item he wants with just a stretch of his hand.

Within the Secret Realm, everything seems achievable with just one thought.

Contrasting with the extreme power of Rain Calling Divine Ability, which is difficult to control, everything in this Secret Realm belongs to Shen Yuan. This feeling of having everything under control made Shen Yuan slightly obsessed.

Just then, the slightest heavy touch from his arm woke Shen Yuan from his obsession.

Bai Xue had jumped onto him at some point, waving her tiny white paws in attempt to snatch back her fish snack from his hand.

Seeing Bai Xue trying hard to climb up his right hand, Shen Yuan’s sense of feeling like he had everything under control vanished.

Looking around the whole Courtyard Secret Realm, the independent space that originally had an area of over two hundred square meters, was now embarrassingly small, even after it had expanded more than tenfold, when compared to the volume of the Secret Realm.

Even if Shen Yuan, being in the Secret Realm, can really control everything, this only applies in such a narrow place, and there is not much significance in here.

“Just a Secret Realm, once the mighty waves of the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge rolls down, I’m afraid there’s not even a chance to resist.

All the things in the Secret Realm are only auxiliary means after all, only the power controlled by oneself is the core.”

With this thought, Shen Yuan reached out his hand to take off Bai Xue, who was climbing in a mess, and returned to her the fish snack taken out of her private stash.

Bai Xue glared at Shen Yuan peevishly, then holding the fish snack in her mouth, she ran lightly towards the Natural Spirit Pool, apparently intending to share her delicious stash with the dragon pangolin.

Seeing this, Shen Yuan couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his eye, but the silly son of a certain Dragon Sovereign’s family seems to have no clue what Bai Xue had brought over and kept opening his mouth in anticipation to taste what a fish snack tasted like.

As for this, Shen Yuan could only comfort himself:

“Pangolin is a Mirage Dragon, not a fish, Its current appearance as a carp is only because it has not grown up yet, eating fish snacks is not considered cannibalism.”

After watching for a while, Shen Yuan turned and went back to his room.

The rewards of the third round of beginner’s guidance had already been claimed and used; Shen Yuan had also completed the beginner’s tasks.

According to the system, he should now proceed with the main and side quests, which could provide Shen Yuan with more choices.

Though Shen Yuan was more inclined to reap the rewards from hidden achievements, hidden achievements were ultimately unpredictable.

Meanwhile, completing some mainline and sideline tasks was still necessary.

Shen Yuan opened the system interface and focused on the task column on the interface.

With the completion of the beginner’s guidance, a row of clear mainline tasks had already appeared in Shen Yuan’s view.

Main Quest: Master A Hundred Arts of Cultivation!

Master A Hundred Arts of Cultivation: As a cultivator, how can you not excel in something? Mastering a good cultivation art will allow you to stand out among your fellow disciples and become a pillar of the Falling Clouds Sect.

Mission requirements: Please go to the scripture depository to select a cultivation art to learn. The more types of cultivation arts you learn, the richer the rewards you will receive.

Shen Yuan, looking at the mission prompt before him, couldn’t help but freeze for a moment.

In regard to hundred arts of cultivation, Shen Yuan had learned quite a bit of relevant information from the diary of Falling Clouds Sect.

Generally speaking, cultivators often slow down their advancement after reaching a certain cultivation base, and the higher they reached, the more they needed various resources. Relying solely on their sect was hardly enough, so they often studied some cultivation skills to acquire resources for themselves.

Cultivation skills mainly fell into six categories: artifact refining, alchemy, formation, talisman inscription, spirit cultivation, and puppetry.

Under these six categories, various branches are extended, and if detailed, there are hundreds of different skills, which is known as ‘hundred arts of cultivation’ in the Cultivation World.

Actually, Shen Yuan didn’t have much objection in having to learn these cultivation skills as per main quest. After all, no proficiency level was specified. He could just muddle through it and complete the main quest.

But the problem at hand was…

“I don’t have any basic cultivation guidebooks, how do I learn?

What’s more, I have to learn from the scripture depository. Where on earth can I get a scripture depository?”

Shen Yuan was somewhat taken aback. This scripture depository was very different from a sect’s spirit pool.

A sect’s spirit pool was after all a replica of a natural spirit pool; if Shen Yuan could snatch a natural spirit pool and bring it back, it could be regarded as a sect spirit pool.

But the scripture depository was something that was generally beyond the creation of common forces. Even if created, it was usually forbidden territory in the sect, not allowing any outside interference.

“I can’t possibly raid someone’s sect to drain its scripture depository, right?”

“Leaving my own ability aside for the time being, if I acted like this, I would be far too conspicuous. I would certainly become the target of everyone’s criticism.”

Thinking to this point, Shen Yuan couldn’t help feeling troubled.

Just while Shen Yuan was lost for ideas, outside the old city, a black luxury car slowly made its way towards the courtyard Shen Yuan was in.

Fu Hua was driving the car, skillfully navigating the secluded alleyways. Next to him, a young man dressed in a black coat, looking bored, was yawning incessantly.

“Uncle, how many times have you already brought me here in the past few days?

Every single time you say we’re going to meet this so-called sage, but we never meet anyone. Is this sage you speak of reliable?”

The words of the young man caused Fu Hua’s expression to darken:

“Mingzhi, no rudeness towards Teacher Shen. Teacher Shen is a real hermit. Even your grandfather has high praises for him. It’s time for you to stop with your little schemes.”

Xue Mingzhi sneered unluckily, not taking Fu Hua’s words to heart, and spoke nonchalantly.

“Uncle, what era is this?

The Imperial Astronomical Bureau is publicly recruiting brave talents from all over the world, revealing many spells that they have amassed over thousands of years. Some even include divine skills, the attraction is enough to make countless cultivators drool.

Anyone who had a chance to get into the Imperial Astronomical Bureau would struggle to get in. In a place like Wenn City, where even a decent spirit vein does not exist, could there be such a hermit?”

Hearing this, Fu Hua couldn’t help but sigh.

Xue Mingzhi was the eldest son of his younger sister, the legitimate heir of the nobiliary Earl Xue Family in the Imperial Capital. Both his family background and talent were exceptional, with his only flaw being his arrogance.

Having witnessed the most prosperous cultivation place in the spirit energy tidal surge within the Imperial Capital, naturally, he looked down upon a rural place like Wenn City.

Xue Mingzhi’s visit to Wenn City was a result of the Xue Family learning about the successful cultivation breakthrough of Old Master Fu. His purpose was to personally court Old Master Fu.

In order for a mortal warrior to become a cultivator, the hurdles are extremely high, and any external aid is strictly forbidden.

However, once crossed over, the sky’s the limit, and it is not impossible to achieve the realm of the Great Cultivator of Transforming God.

Despite the Xue Family’s prominence in the Imperial Capital, a cultivator with the potential to reach the realm of Transforming God would still be a rare strength addition.

Xue Mingzhi’s purpose for the trip was to invite Old Master Fu to the Xue Family as a patron due to their kinship, and the Xue Family offered highly attractive conditions.

However, Old Master Fu rejected their offer outright, leaving the Xue Family quite disappointed. Regardless, they did not insist too much and chose to continue building the relationship.

For this, the Xue family even helped Fu Hua solve some serious problems and actively assisted him in auctioning off several precious spirit objects and scriptures.

Old Master Fu felt the Xue family’s sincerity and decided to return the favor, so he asked Fu Hua to accompany Xue Mingzhi and bring along the spirit objects to seek an audience with Shen Yuan.

However, over the past three days, despite several visits by Fu Hua, they were unable to meet Shen Yuan, which triggered Xue Mingzhi’s inherent arrogance.

In his eyes, even if that Teacher Shen was highly regarded by Old Master Fu, he was nothing more than a little cultivator from the countryside. He would never make it to the big stage.

Only a small family like the Fu Family, which emerged from a humble and deserted place, would easily be deceived by Shen Yuan’s tricks.

“If I get a chance, I will undeniably expose this so-called hermit.”

Such thoughts flashed through Xue Mingzhi’s mind.

Subsequently, the car slowly stopped in front of the gate of the courtyard.
